SiJ Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 You know when you do some impulsively and then think "why the hell did I just do that?" Well I kind of just went and did that. Basically. . .I bought a ticket for Colchester away and am now trying to work out how in the blue hell I'm going to get down there. The inter-owl travel thing doesn't seem to be working on the website and I'm wondering if the coaches are full. What I'm trying to get at is does anyone have a spare seat going in their car, van, lorry, tractor, speedboat, or plane? I'll obviously contribute fuel money, buy you a beer etc. Cheers.

Guest chapeltom Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm in exactly the same boat! Just bought a ticket and no idea how to get there! £66 by train is wayyy too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebneeb Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 That's the spirit! I'd offer but tieing in the match with dropping my brother back off at Uni so car is full and journey not direct. Seems like there's a few people in the same boat, you could sort out your own minibus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chapeltom Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Have you checked Inter-Owl thingy? Nothing come up on Travel on the website for this Saturday. £24 would have been a bargain. Might be worth ringing the ticket office up, if I've got come to ticket office to buy coach travel for Sat I'd do so, be cheaper than train.

SiJ Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yeah, I figured giving them a ring tomorrow is probably the best bet. General sale for that was the 30th March, so it may well be sold out unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevdi9 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 From looking at the colchester threads on here a few people have problems getting there would it not be prudent to hire a minibus over the weekend ,or even see if taxi mark has access to one ,as you would need a driver ,would ,if you all clubed together work out a bit cheaper for traveling ,i was going to hire a transit ,£60 quid for the day=fuel you used ,just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
